Process for Submitting News Items and Announcements

The process for sending newsworthy items for submission to the newsletter, newsletter supplements, the web site, and Sunday announcements is very simple:

Send all items to the email address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Messages sent to that address always reach the person whose task it is to review the item, edit it for the appropriate communication vehicle, and send it along to wherever it is slated to go (supplement, newsletter, web site, and/or Sunday announcements sheet).

News items and announcements should never go to anyoneâ€™s personal email address.Exception: If there is an emergency, and you feel it necessary to get the information to someone right away, please send it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.IN ADDITION TO the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. address.
